DW and I are planning a tent camping trip coming up for late summer. Not sure if this is a good idea or setting up for a bad experience? I are planning day hiking trip from our camp site and I'd prefer not to haul anymore than needed. We will have an ice chest to keep things cold but don't want to cook and do dishes.
Any suggestions for meals that don't need to be cooked? Thanks
I did a hike with the Boy Scouts as a kid. We usually said bring your own lunch rather than trying to buy lunch meat that 15 people like. We stopped for lunch and this one kid had a can of spaghetti o's for lunch.....and no can opener :rofl: I forget how the can was opened but he ate cold spaghetti o's for lunch.
I say cereal and fruit for breakfast, sandwiches (packed with an ice pack) for lunch, and I don't have suggestions for a no cook dinner. I have to have a hot meal at dinner.
I can suggest a limited cook dinner.....hamburgers and hot dogs. I have a small propane grill so these are real simple, the only clean up is the spatula.

Wraps (my personal fave is whole-wheat tortillas, greens (lettuces, arugula, spinach), cheese (whatever you prefer), and tomatoes (though if made at the destination the tomatoes need special packing so they don't get crushed). I also enjoy canned beans, salsa, greens, and cheese. One of my un-refrigerated faves is whole wheat crackers (such as the Ak-Mak brand) spread with Laughing Cow cheese wedges (don't require refrigeration).
Homemade tomato bruschetta (diced tomato, olive oil, onion/shallot/garlic, spices as preferred - either plain or mixed with canned chickpeas or fresh-picked cucumbers, or whatever else you prefer) works on thick crackers or hard, crusty bread (easy to transport without crushing). You can prepare the bruschetta ahead of time or carry the ingredients separately and make at the destination (the 'experts' seem to greatly differ about the likelihood of food-borne illness in such foods; it's up to you).
Fruit and walnuts are another favorite of mine, though it can be hard to pack fresh peaches so that they don't get crushed, and carrying a whole watermelon can be a bit heavy.
